Hey friend
The other day I finished the second installment of The Mortal Instruments Series which is featured on my Autumn reading list and I promised a review so here it is :)
City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments #2)
By Cassandra Clare
2008
453 Pages
Description:
Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like Werewolves, Vampires and Faries? If Clary left the world of the Shadow-hunting behind, it would mean more time with her best friend Simon.
But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go - especially her newfound brother Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down Rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil and also her father
Review
Storyline: I quite liked the storyline for this book, it pretty much follows on from the first book, only this time Valentine is trying to destroy the world and Clary and Jace must fight against him to save the world. The storyline between Clary and Jace is a little disturbing as this is aimed at Young Adults and would probay gross them out but it's not featured too much so you could probably just look past that.
Characters: Most of the characters from the first book are also in this one, with the exception of a few new ones. As the story progresses, each character is explored a bit more and you find out things you might not have figured out from the first book. Each character is well thought out and you can get a sense of the struggles they face throughout the book.
Overall: A great second installment of the series, didn't like the fact there wasn't many chapters but I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
My Rating: 10/10
Would I Recommend?: yes, if you enjoyed the first book then I've no doubts that you will enjoy this one :)
Feel free to contact me in anyway shape or form in the contact section above :)
Till next time
XOXO
